TC120 Description
TC120 is a 300kHz PFM/PWM step-down (Buck) DC/ DC regulator/controller bination for use in systems operating from two or more cells, or in line-powered applications. It uses PWM as the primary modulation scheme, but automatically converts to PFM at low output loads for greater efficiency. It requires only an external inductor, Schottky diode, and two capacitors to implement a step-down converter having a maximum...
